@RyanHartmann That would have been awesome but unfortunately people in todays climate would look at it as black vs white rather than two legendary people who an both honorable men. Even though it would have nothing to do with race it would be preseved as so now for no reason.
buggyracer 1 as an Iowa state fan I agree. Since our AD doesn’t see the need to play any different P5 schools in non conference I would rather play some old big 12 schools that left the conference then play Iowa
This rivalry doesn’t get as much notice because of it being early in the season. Imagine how much more hype if it was at the end of the regular season. Especially if CFP implications are riding on it.
@@djdmdmdmd4690 Your dumb and blind. As of 2 years ago 15 years prior only ohio state has more top 10 finishes than Iowa. Iowa has 5 while Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan state and Penn state have 3 or less......
Well not the ball diamond unless you're talking about softball. State doesn't have a baseball team... But I agree, wrestling especially is HUGE here too, in the state as a whole.
@Pink Starburst The Pewter Family trophy was horrible, lol. But the story of its origin was really a good segment. I never knew that part and McCarney told the story very well. Even though I can’t unsee his short shorts and skinny legs, he was a character and a good coach at the time Iowa State needed.
I can assure you that no one outside of the state of Iowa gets excited for this game. I think it's nice they kept their rivalry going but I typically dislike it because that means Iowa won't play a decent out of conference opponent that will expose them early. And yesterday's game between these two (2022) was one of the worst football games in the history of the sport.
A very important player in history. He died playing football from injuries as he was the first black player to play for iowa state as racial discrimination was still going on. Minnesota played him dirty and did cheap shot hits on him. Might wanna google it and read for yourself.
Iowa’s best rivalry games ranked 1) Floyd of Rosedale (vs Minnesota) 2) Heartland Trophy (vs Wisconsin) 3) vs Nebraska 4) CyHawk CyHawk is fun... but it’s literally never been competitive and the trophy is less interesting
@@stephenlang7870 I might agree with you now that ISU is so much more relevant. I’d say they’re about equal, same way Minnesota and Wisconsin are just about equal
@@thebacons5943 they played over 100 times being geographical next door neighbors and in the big 12 era they were no doormat to Nebraska. Only reason Iowa and Nebraska are rivals is the same reason Iowa state and Nebraska are. Except ones played like 40 times the other 100 times
That would not benefit Iowa and they would never leave the big ten. Iowa State wouldn't be able to compete in the big ten so I think it's better if they stay in their separate conferences
Iowa band was the aggressor in the situation and failed to follow procedure also, and come to find out it was an Iowa band member who tried to steal from player locker rooms again too.
they couldn't equal Nebraska, they be far better than what Nebraska ever was. Just like B10 Nebraska, Iowa already owns you. If Iowa started in the B12/B8 they would better than Nebraska without ISU.
All of Nebraska's "storied" history comes from the Big 8, a weak, weak conference. If Nebraska wants to regain its former glory, it will need to return to the Big 12. Nebraska might not have much of a choice if they can't get back into the AAU, which by the way Iowa State is a member without a medical school. But then again, they probably couldn't beat Iowa State now either.
Still think they should have put statues of Jack Trice and Nile Kinnick on the new trophy.
That would have been brilliant.
Never thought of that. Awesome idea!!!

I like the old trophy. It never fails it seems like the power that be makes a new trophy and it bites big time😂🏆
This is one of the greatest rivalries in the history of college football. Iowa and Iowa State
Are you serious 😂
I'm an Iowa fan and no it's not! A win doesn't do Iowa any good and a loss is just plain embarrassing. The game needs to end.

Yes, Mizzou would be a better fit for you.
Noah Byrd um the Backyard brawl
Its amazing that a state with that low of population has two power 5 schools and they are in two different conferences.
Especially considering the state to the North, Minnesota, has more population and only has one. Same with the state to the Northeast, Wisconsin.
Not for much longer potentially…
@@CraftezUnited The Big 12 will be a Power 5 if they survive and Iowa State will jump ship if it doesn't
@@madc2004 even if ISU stays in power 5 they will have to be in B1G, ACC, or Pac 12 to keep playing Iowa 2025 will be the final game
@@timandhannahnewman6538 why would they not continue to play past 2025?

@trha2222 No it's not IOWA'S superbowl. I want the game to end. A win does Iowa no good and a loss is absolutely embarrassing.
Great game today..love the rivalry
This will become a nationally known rivalry if Iowa State joins the Big 10 and this becomes a conference rivalry
The big ten should’ve taken Iowa state instead of Nebraska ten years ago. Now the cornhuskers have become a laughing stock.
As and Iowan this is one of the greatest rival ries in college football go Hawkeyes
Looking forward to tomorrow's game. Go Hawkeyes!
The gridiron the hardwood the ball diamond the wrestling mat. This rivalry isn’t just limited to football

TOTALLY AGREE ON THE TROPHY!
TRICE and KINNICK...A NO BRAINER.
¡EL ASSICO!!!!!!!!!!!
Very overlooked rivalry. I think the media is starting to pay attention to this one.
Secretly could be the best in state rivalry in college football
Bring back the trophy! Down with the corporate trash trophy!
Dan McCarney was even an Iowa City High Little Hawk. Definition of turncoat! Haha TOTALLY kidding
@The Bacons. Definitely unacceptable to leave for your rival to coach. I find it abhorrent.
Sincerely,

@@BruiserKC for sure
I searched for “El Assico”
GO HAWKS!!!!!
Let's go Hawkeyes!!!
GO HAWKEYES!!

Greater Des Moines Athletic Club lolll ... Love my state rivalry.
Most underrated, nasty, mean rivalry in college football hands down.
The new trophy is ugly ad does not signify football. What wimp made that?
it's a good but not one of the best, its fairly one-sided
As an Iowa State fan I agree lol.. it's always a great tailgate but yeah it's very one sided
Tim and Hannah Newman Still not as bad as the Bedlam Series (Oklahoma-Oklahoma State) where Oklahoma has won 80 more games than Oklahoma State.
The more you know
Although as a former Iowa player Wisconsin and Minnesota were way bigger rivals than Iowa and isu
QS Awesomeness it would be a rivalry if the series as of late was more even tbh

Any rivalry should come before Nebraska.
Nebraska ISU is a bigger rivalry then Iowa Nebraska
@@Sloppyplane37 in what world? Neither series is nationally relevant but ISU was a doormat the whole time Nebraska was in the big 12/8

There's talk of ending the Cy-Hawk series.
Good
Go hawks
Dumb question. Why isn't this a conference game? I mean what if Iowa joined the big 12
They'd steal Texas and Oklahoma's mojo.
That would not benefit Iowa and they would never leave the big ten. Iowa State wouldn't be able to compete in the big ten so I think it's better if they stay in their separate conferences
@@Yyyyyy5 More like Texas and Oklahoma would walk all over them
@@madc2004 ummm no they wouldn’t. It would be about a 60/40 between all 3 teams right now. In favor of Texas and Oklahoma.
There won’t be any more trophy because Iowa State fans can’t behave them selves
Iowa band was the aggressor in the situation and failed to follow procedure also, and come to find out it was an Iowa band member who tried to steal from player locker rooms again too.
spoiler alert: It’s not
Somebody had to say it,😂
Spoiler alert:
It is and you know nothing about the rivalry or how much it means in the state.
Wow tanner are you getting emotional on me bro take it easy 😂
@@GraveyardWarden It is the same as any in state rivalry.
Who cares ?
You do, at least enough to post this comment.
Haha If they combined both programs they couldn't equal Nebraska.
they couldn't equal Nebraska, they be far better than what Nebraska ever was. Just like B10 Nebraska, Iowa already owns you. If Iowa started in the B12/B8 they would better than Nebraska without ISU.
U mean "Little red"?
Iowa state alone is probably better than Nebraska. Go Hawks!
The only thing Nebraska does is make Iowa State and Iowa agree in something. Hating little red
All of Nebraska's "storied" history comes from the Big 8, a weak, weak conference. If Nebraska wants to regain its former glory, it will need to return to the Big 12. Nebraska might not have much of a choice if they can't get back into the AAU, which by the way Iowa State is a member without a medical school.
